Bloody Pit of Horror
Pretty subtle title, huh? Produced in Italy as Il Boa Scarlatto, this lurid gorefest also goes by The Crimson Executioner, A Tale of Torture, and Some Virgins for the Hangman, among other titles. Campy, sadistic Eurotrash that played off in the US paired with another retitled Neapolitan thriller, Terror-Creatures from Beyond the Grave. They don’t make ’em like these anymore. A comparison of the original with the 9 minutes-shorter US version can be found here. The entire film can be seen (in sections) here but the rather vivid color is faded.
